Visual projection is Zafrina's power to project vivid images into another's mind. This is a highly powerful and rare gift.

Description

Zafrina demonstrates her power to Bella and Edward.

Zafrina uses this power by imagining an area and willing her victims to see, or make them see nothing at all. The visions are so real that the victims can easily forget reality. Like Alec's gift, she can project to multiple targets at the same time, and, like Jane, take immediate effect. In battle, this power is useful in blinding her target. She can also use this power to keep her prey from escaping.

Limitations

Since her power is directed to the minds of others, it can easily be blocked by Bella Swan'sability to shield. Also, her power seems to only affect a target's sight, as Edward describes that he is able to hold onto reality by clinging onto Bella in his arms. Her power only affects those who are in her eyesight.

Similar abilities

Alec's ability of sense deprivation allows him to deprive multiple target's of their senses. However, both abilities are more potent than the other. Alec removes all senses from a victim, while Zafrina only affects their sight. But similarly, Zafrina replaces a victim's sight with a different scene, while Alec only removes the target's senses.

Jane's ability of burning illusion allows her to incapacitate her target by implanting an illusion to make them think they are in excruciating pain. Similarly to Zafrina, this power works from a long range.

Renesmee Cullen's ability of tactile thought projection allows her to implant mental pictures into the minds of others. The differences between her and Zafrina are similar to the differences between Edward's and Aro's gifts. As Aro can read the thoughts of the one being in his contact while Edward can read the thoughts of multiple targets at a time, Zafrina can any target in her desired vicinity while Renesmee can only affect whoever is in her contact.
